Tips for More Points

Think in things: objects, animals, food and places. Focus on familiar nouns, usually in the singular.

Mind the noun endings: -TION, -NESS, -MENT and -ER often stretch into high-scoring words.

Don't overlook the short ones. Four-letter finds tot up surprisingly quickly.

    Longer words: 1 point per letter.
  • โญ
